. American bee journal. Bee culture; Bees. May, 1909. American IBae Journal tion never buckles. I use Dadant's thin-brood foundation, and it never stretches enough to show on the finished combs. I extract all my honey, and sometimes have as much as 4 tons, and am not at all careful with the combs, but the 3 slack wires always hold them in. In regard to the Illinois bee-keepers who are objecting to the toul-brood law, if Mr. Stone is positive that their bees have foul brood, would it be any injustice to them, or would it place him liable in any way, if he gave their names? As it stands, it reflects on all bee- men in north or south of the State, no mat- ter how clean their apiaries may be, or how careful they may be about spreading disease. Many bee-keepers all over the country, when they order queens, would naturally steer clear of these two neighborhoods, and as there are several honest queen-breeders in this State, it reflects injustice on all alike. S. F. Trego. Swedona, 111. Wintering Bees in a Warm Room. Wintering in a warm room, bees fly every day in winter. June 4, 1908, a colony swarmed. Ten days after swarming, they were looked over and 7 queen-cells found. Four were cut out and one left. One frame containing 2 queen-cells, well filled with brood and voung bees, was removed and placed in an o'bser\'ation hive, to form a single-frame colony. On June 19, one queen hatched, and began laying June 30. The bees of the original brood had become somewhat reduced when the young brood began hatching on July 20. Since then the colony has been very strong. August 22 I began feeding sugar syrup for winter stores, 3 parts sugar to one of water. They filled the frame about 3-4 full by September 1, when feeding was discontinued. October 29 they were brought inside and placed on a table, with the en- trance of the hive opening into a flying- cage. The cage is 2 feet square, made of 3-4-inch pine strips for the frame-work, covered with wire netting on all sides, with a door
